EA says they have nothing in works for the Wii U

Avenger — Tue, 21 May 2013 01:23:08 GMT

Electronics Arts in a recent interview Said they Had nothing currently in production for the Wii U. Making Big franchises unavailable for Nintendos Latest home console. Some might say this is no big deal since Gamers who buy Nintendo systems buy them for nintendo games, but this puts a serious dent in the Sports category with games like FIFA, and Madden not making their way over. Hopefully this E3 will showcase some great games for Wii U and Sales will pick back up for the console and EA will have to reevaluate their decision. With Nintendo sure to show off Mario Kart U, Super Smash Bros, and the next 3D Mario the system should pick up some serious steam.

RUMOR - No WWE 14, GTA 5 or M rated Rockstar content for Wii U

Avenger — Sat, 11 May 2013 03:00:40 GMT

According to a post on 4chan:

There's no plans to ever bring a WWE game to the Wii U anytime in the distant future. I know this information because a 3D Animator on the project. I am working directly with people like Jeff Godfrey who is the art director on the project. Visual Concepts and 2K Sports is working with Yukes on the project.

You may remember that Wii U never received WWE '13 at launch while 360/PS3 did. Yukes has no interest in Wii U when they were working with THQ, and they still don't now that they're working with 2K Sports.

Also word around the offices is that Take Two and Rockstar have no plans to bring Grand Theft Auto or any of Rockstar's major M rated games to the Wii U.

ofcourse this is all rumors for now...but if true it can't be good news for anyone hoping to see Rockstar/take two games on Wii U.

Wii U Runs Crysis 3 engine

Avenger — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 04:44:25 GMT

According to Crytek the Wii U was able to run Crisis 3 and was almost launched with the Wii U but EA and Nintendo couldn't reach an agreement and EA decided to pull the plug on publishing the title on Nintendos Next Gen Console. In an interview with VentureBeat Yerlis said, " We did have Crysis 3 running on the Wii U. We were very close to launching it, but there was lack of business support between Nintendo and EA on that. Since we as a company couldn't launch on the Wii U ourselves-we don't have a publishing license-Crysis 3 on Wii U had to die."

Capcom Talks about goals for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Avenger — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 03:36:45 GMT

Siliconera interview with producer, Ryozo Tsujimoto...

S: What was the goal for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate?

RT: The 3DS version was developed first, and one of the goals was to utilize the dual-screen properties of the hardware to the fullest. That is where the inspiration to include the Target Camera features came from.

As for the Wii U version, it was important for us to have the title work together with the 3DS version of the game, as well as take advantage of the larger screen space available. We were also able to implement internet multiplayer for the Wii U, as well as voice chat functionality, which was a feature that was widely requested by overseas users.

Wii U and 3DS - upcoming release dates confirmed

Avenger — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:36:08 GMT

REDMOND, Wash., Jan. 17, 2013 – Every video game offers a different experience. But only on Nintendo systems do these experiences transform into moments of shared joy and fun. It's the parent who pulls a game off the TV to play on the Wii U™ GamePad controller so the kids can watch cartoons. It's the group of friends passing the GamePad around the room and then sharing their experiences on Miiverse. It's the "you gotta see this" moment when people first experience glasses-free 3D and augmented reality on a Nintendo 3DS™ system.

The holiday season added many new Wii U and Nintendo 3DS owners who have already begun to discover these joyful moments together. Nintendo now builds on their enthusiasm with a fun lineup of games for early 2013.

"During the holidays we saw new players respond positively to new game-play experiences using the Wii U GamePad controller and the true 3D of Nintendo 3DS," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "With such a diverse lineup of games on the horizon, people will experience a variety of ways to play, whether they're using the GamePad to scan for criminals or seeing ghosts in 3D on the Nintendo 3DS screen."

New on Wii U

The Wii U home console launched to great acclaim on Nov. 18 with the largest lineup of games in Nintendo history. The fun continues into 2013 with the upcoming release of LEGO City: Undercover on March 18. In this original LEGO game, exclusive to Wii U, players assume the role of Chase McCain, a tough-as-nails police officer who is a master of disguise. The massive, open world of LEGO City lets players explore the city using numerous vehicles from the real-life play sets to pursue criminal mastermind Rex Fury. On March 19, the fan-favorite Monster Hunter series descends on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The action RPG's expansive, gorgeous world features more to do than ever before. Players can hunt monsters, upgrade equipment and improve skills while they take part in more than 200 challenging quests.

Game & Wario™, The Wonderful 101™, Pikmin™ 3 and Wii Fit™ U will arrive in the first half of the year. Additional information about launch timing for these games will be announced at a later date.

To ensure that Wii U users get the most out of their GamePad controller, Nintendo will be offering a Wii U GamePad Accessory Set to help owners protect their screens. The set will be available at stores on Feb. 4 for a suggested retail price of $12.99 and includes a Wii U GamePad screen protector that fits over the screen to protect it from scratches and dirt, an extra-large stylus for comfortable touch-screen game play and a cleaning cloth.

New on Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS hand-held system continues its momentum going into 2013. Launching on Feb. 4 is Fire Emblem Awakening, a fantasy turn-based strategy game for Nintendo 3DS. On the same day, Nintendo will release a special bundle of the Nintendo 3DS system that has Fire Emblem Awakening pre-installed on the hardware. The blue hardware features Fire Emblem artwork and a 4GB SD memory card, and will be available at a suggested retail price of $199.99. A demo of Fire Emblem Awakening will be available today in the Nintendo eShop.

Brain Age: Concentration Training for Nintendo 3DS arrives on Feb. 10 to build on the mainstream appeal of the celebrated Brain Age series with new challenges to help players concentrate as they block out distractions. A demo will also be available in the Nintendo eShop on Jan. 24. On March 24, fans of the original Luigi's Mansion have reason to celebrate with the release of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. In this game, a timid Luigi travels through more mansions and captures more ghosts using his upgraded Poltergust 5000. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity also hits the Nintendo 3DS system on March 24. In addition to playing as a Pokémon, players explore ever-changing Mystery Dungeons as they build Pokémon Paradise and recruit more Pokémon to their team. There is also a deep and compelling story full of unexpected twists. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity makes the most of the features of the Nintendo 3DS system, such as the ability to use the system's camera to open Magnagates – portals to new Mystery Dungeons in the real world. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate comes to Nintendo 3DS on March 5. This sequel takes place 25 years after Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and follows the famous Belmont clan as they set out to find and destroy the ruthless Dracula. The action-filled game features multiple playable characters and combines both 2D classic side-scrolling game play with full 3D areas.

Operation Rainfall Redirects their cause!

Avenger — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 16:14:34 GMT

Seeing as Xseed and Gamestop were the ones to approach Nintendo in publishing The Last Story in the U.S. Operation Rainfall is no focusing on approaching Publishers instead of Nintendo directly. Here's a snippet of their new direction...

"With the recent revelation that XSEED Games approached Nintendo of America to publish The Last Story in North America and the fact that GameStop may have played a large role in the localization of Xenoblade Chronicles, the staff of Operation Rainfall have decided to try a different approach regarding a North America release of Pandora’s Tower. Our previous campaigns involved a lot of messaging Nintendo of America – on Facebook and Twitter, through email and over the phone, and even via physical mail.
This time, rather than asking Nintendo for Pandora’s Tower directly (which we have already been doing for the past 9 months, alongside Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story), instead we would like to pitch Pandora’s Tower to the publishers themselves. This does not involve any spamming or harassing of the various publishers, but instead we plan on sending a special promotional kit to each of the publishers we have selected."
